 Anyone in an essentially sunny climate must prioritize their skin and protect it as much as possible from the dangerous UV sun rays. You can do many things to protect your skin from the damaging sun. However, one of the most important things you can do for your skin is to schedule regular skin cancer screenings, and we are here to explain the importance of screening.

Skin Cancer Screenings at Least Annually are Important

Our experienced doctors at The Skin and Dermatology Center in Colorado Springs, CO, schedule complete and in-depth skin cancer screening daily for their patients. Our doctors want to highlight the importance of cancer screenings and explain why you must schedule yours at least once a year.

Skin cancer is quite a common and curable type of cancer that we efficiently treat in our office if we catch it in time. For this reason, regular screenings are vital. In between times, you must self-examine your skin to detect changes. If you spot an unusual area, come and let us take a look so we can give you peace of mind. Look for skin bumps, sores, unusual growths, and pale, waxy patches.

More advanced skin cancer generally forms on the hands, arms, neck, or head and must be recognized immediately.

• Early detection allows for earlier treatment. Early detection and treatment give you a higher percentage of successful cancer elimination.

For more advanced forms of skin cancer, you may discover a lump developing that can be firm or rough on the surface. This type of skin cancer can look like a scaly, red patch. This type of skin cancer can present as a pesky rash that may come and go.

• Skin cancer is harder to cure.
• Early detection may save a life.
